The study of law and justice is built on a long and diverse heritage, deeply rooted in the study of the humanities. Law is central to everything we do in life, and in many ways it defines who we are as a people. In keeping with the Jesuit tradition, the goal of this program is to encourage a sustained reflection on fundamental values.

This interdisciplinary minor program allows students the freedom to sample from a wide variety of courses to pursue specific interests within the organizing framework of the law.

The Legal Studies minor requires students to take seven courses, spread across at least two colleges and three departments. No more than two courses may come from the same department. Students may not use a course from their major to fulfill a minor requirement.
